It feels to me that the only mentions of patriotism are generally against immigrants, who don't really do shit like this and have been shown to be a positive to the exchequer.

Anyone who has done this to avoid legitimate taxes, anyone who moves to Singapore / Dubai / Monaco etc to avoid taxes, and especially anyone who took advantage during Covid to make a quick buck instead of helping during an international crisis, are deeply unpatriotic and should be vilified by everyone

Are you daring to say that the poor family scraping to make ends meet with both parents working and still having to claim benefits is actually patriotic? And suggesting that the millionaire who hides his inherited wealth in an offshore taxhaven, lives in Dubai and hires accountants to avoid contributing anything to the UK doesn't love this country? That's not how we're programmed to think in this country!

General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
